WORLD BRIEFING / FINLAND
Police said they captured a man who received a large ransom after kidnapping a millionaire’s daughter.
Until the police announcement, the public had not been told that Minna Nurminen, 26, had been missing since May 27.
Det. Chief. Supt. Kari Tolvanen said the family paid “a very large ransom” for her release, but declined to disclose the amount. Finnish Channel 4 said it was almost $14 million.
Tolvanen said Nurminen was found unhurt in a forest. She’s a member of the Herlin family, which owns elevator maker Kone Corp.
Police declined to give more details.
